iSoft partners with i-Path on pathology

  • 6 August 2010

ISoft has announced that it will partner with i-Path Diagnostics, a Belfast based provider of web-based pathology systems, to boost its presence in the UK pathology market.

The company will add i-Path’s web based platform, PathXL, which enables glass slides used by pathologists to be converted into digital files and then accessed and distributed via the N3 network or internet, to its existing laboratory suite.

ISoft will provide the system under software as a service model to provide customers with access to information when they need it or as a scalable system to trusts across the UK.

Adrian Stevens, managing director of iSoft’s UK and Ireland business, said: “With a dominant market share, there is a huge opportunity here for iSoft. The i-Path application will save customers time and money by eliminating the need to post glass slides and risk them being lost or broken.

According to iSoft, integrating digital pathology services into existing laboratory information systems will allow for instant access to whole slide images and associated clinical data as well as the ability to digitally archive slides.

Stuart Harvey, i-Path’s chief executive Officer, added: “i-Path is very enthusiastic about the opportunities the iSoft relationship will bring to both companies, in terms of boosting both product development and market share.

“The collaborative relationship will see the development of a fully integrated lab software in which i-Path’s digital slide viewing technology will bring pathology data to life for the clinician.”
